versions of the etudes. They are ideal for learning the basic language
of jazz, swing phrasing, and articulation. The guide tone etudes (guide
tones are the essential or defining notes for each given chord type)
are followed by a melodious version as the chord changes might actually

accompanying CD the soloist (Fred
Lipsius) demonstrates the 24
melodious etudes together with a professional rhythm section. You can
also improvise along with the play-along tracks using the chord
symbols. So if improvising is new to you and you find yourself getting
lost, you can always return to a guide tone and play rhythmically
around it. Any etude and its corresponding simplified guide tone
version can be played together as a duet (with or without the CD
accompaniment).
